Aion Priest

Priest emblem

The Priests are the predecessor to becoming a Cleric or a Chanter. This is the classification for these classes before doing the Ascension quest and choosing a class.

During playing as a Priest, players will start to gain a feel of what the Cleric and Chanter are like. There is a mixture of skills for both of these classes that are gained while leveling, to help assist in determining what class to choose.

This class is by far the fastest one to level to 10 and Ascend, solely because they are able to heal themselves in combat. Mix this with good attack power, and you have a solid killing machine!

Their positives are :

• Great damage dealing potential
• Good heals
• Semi-decent buffs
• Chain armor mastery

Their negatives are :

• They mostly rely on Smites
• Easily killed if not attentive

As stated above, their primary attack at this point is using smites on enemies. The issue with these is they are two second spells, and they can be canceled. Although this is true, they are still more efficient than the classes who are unable to heal, especially the rogue classes.

In solo combat their battle style will consist mainly of alternating between Smites and heals. This will help assist them in keeping their health up while killing enemies. When enemies get within range Priests have skills that will slow down enemy attack speed, lowering the amount of damage taken while in combat. This will be used after the first or second Smite. There are also the more subtle strategies and class secrets.

In group combat, their goal will be to heal allies while occasionally tossing out an attack or two, which will usually be a melee attack so they are able to conserve mana. The good thing about this is they are able to group with any class and still make them much more efficient at this point, not just tanks!

Conclusion : The Priests are by far the best classes in terms of leveling speed before level 10. They are able to somewhat tank, deal damage, and also heal themselves (and others). While playing one, players will gain an understanding of how both the Cleric and Chanter will be in combat, allowing them to better prepare them for the choice of which class to take after their Ascension. Along with this, they can play as an out-of-party healer and buffer for other players to assist them in leveling up in the newbie levels.

Aion Cleric

Cleric Emblem

In this article, you’ll find a brief intro to the class but if you’re looking for more, then you might want to take a look at the this Cleric guide. Packed with unique strategies and detailed explanations on how to prepare yourself to survive in the faction war as a Cleric, the guide is recommended for every serious player. With class-specific leveling strategies, gear recommendations and money-making tips, the guide is rich with useful information for both Elyos and Asmodian alike.

Clerics are the supreme healing force in Aion. They do have a couple of buffs, but these are the ones obtained while leveling as a Priest. This class is relied upon primarily for their ability to heal players in a quick and efficient manner. At the same time, however, they are also able to solo quite well due to their ability to cast damaging spells and attacks on their enemies.

Some of their high points are as follows:

• Great healing power
• Ability to resurrect allied players
• Basic buffing abilities
• Ability to use Chain armor

As for their low points, there are the following:

• Heals can be canceled by enemy attacks
• Damage is a little low compared to the DPS classes

As you can see, their benefits outweigh their negatives. Nevertheless, enterpreneurs in the online gaming industry, sees this gap as an opportunity to offer solutions to close that gap with various Aion cleric-specific tools.

Going back the the class, although Clerics able to solo when necessary, they are much more efficient when put into a group with other players. If the group they are with does not need much healing, the Cleric will generally take the role of DPS to assist with the killing process. If the group does a great deal of healing, Clerics will be better off sitting on the back lines and just healing.

When looking at the Cleric’s abilities, they have a mixture between spells and melee damage abilities. The spells are called “smites” and can be canceled, whereas the melee abilities are unable to be canceled. The choice of attacks to use will greatly depend on what type of group the Cleric is in. If they are in a ranged group, they will want to use their smites. If they are in close-quarters and are playing the role of DPS, they will use melee attacks.

Conclusion: The Cleric is a great addition to any party, but can also be played as a solo character. Their heals, abilities to unleash attacks, and Chain armor all combine to boost their ability to survive in combat. In groups, they have the role of either just being a healer, being DPS, or being both! Because of this, different Clerics have different play-styles.

For more advanced class information, this is a recommended Cleric guide. Interested in exploring Atreia as another class, check out the other Aion guides available for the in-depth strategies to help you throughout your journey.
